  FinCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, monitors digital currency transactions through various methods. One of the main ways is by requiring digital currency exchanges and other virtual asset service providers to register as money services businesses (MSBs) and comply with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations. This includes implementing robust Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, reporting suspicious activities, and maintaining transaction records. FinCEN also collaborates with other regulatory agencies and law enforcement to gather intelligence and investigate potential money laundering and terrorist financing activities in the digital currency space.

  To monitor digital currency transactions, FinCEN uses a combination of advanced analytics, data analysis, and machine learning algorithms. These technologies help identify patterns and anomalies in transaction data, allowing FinCEN to detect and investigate potential illicit activities. By analyzing transaction patterns, FinCEN can identify suspicious transactions, such as large transfers to high-risk jurisdictions or frequent transfers between digital currency exchanges. FinCEN also relies on information sharing agreements with other countries and financial institutions to enhance its monitoring capabilities.
